    • MMM-BinCollection

      Hi all,
      Found MM and think it’s the bee’s knees… Have not been able to stopping thinking about how to use it 🙂

      Looked at some of the bin collections modules and they are brilliant but I didn’t want to use CSV files. So I came up with a way to reuse the calendar module. Create a bin collection calendar in Google Calendar and then adding recurring entries for collections, for me it’s every two weeks on a Monday:
      0_1572704304955_77e4f5f9-f5cf-4d2a-9905-5500b10178a3-image.png
      Moved any individual dates that clashed with Public Holidays (Easter Monday) etc and then added a new entry in config.js

      	{
      		module: "calendar",
      		header: "Bin Collection",
      		position: "bottom_left",
      		config: {
      			maximumEntries: 3,  // as I only have 3 bins
      			fetchInterval: 3600000, // update every hour
      			timeFormat: "dateheaders",  // group by date
      			maximumNumberOfDays: 14,  // it's a two week cycle for me
      			fade: false,  // no fade please
      			calendars: [
      				{
      					symbol: "trash", // trash icon :)
      					url: "webcal://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/..../basic.ics" // update this to point to your bin calendar
      				}
      			]
      		}
      	},
      

      and now the below is exactly what I need:

      Hope this is of use to someone 🙂
